Flytec 6030 Alti-Vario-GPS

Paragliding | Paramotoring | Hang Gliding

Flight Instrument with Integrated GPS

The Flytec 6030 is the next evolution of the very popular and successful 5030. It is a highly sophisticated flight instrument with integrated 16 channel GPS receiver and features the same 1/4 VGA high-res display in a housing that is very aerodynamic, sexy and over 30% smaller than the  5030. The 6030 also has a new airspeed sensor that boasts the widest speed range available (12-180 mph!)

The battery supply is two banks of AA rechargeable batteries. The smart battery technology allows the 6030 to auto-switch to the secondary battery bank when the primary bank is exhausted and since the batteries are now user replaceable you can always substitute alkaline if you discover at launch that you forgot to charge the the batteries.

The 6030 has an improved menu structure and terminology and can be set for several different languages. It has an optional Bluetooth connection to a cell phone for real-time tracking, and there is also an SD card slot for future expansion and a USB port for connection to a PC.

The pitot tube is easy to remove; the hole is then plugged with a rubber stopper (with a small opening to equalize pressure) to keep dirt from getting in the sensor.
